Last year’s Green Lantern movie was a pretty big flop. Yes, it brought in slightly more than its 200-million production budget (around 220-million worldwide) but when you account for advertising costs and the money theatres take, the movie was actually a major money-loser (to the tune of over 100-million bucks).

I blame Ryan Reynolds for this. Why? Mostly because I really hate Ryan Reynolds, but also because he’s proven box office poison. Doesn’t matter if it’s a big budget blockbuster like Green Lantern or X-Men Origins: Wolverine, or a wacky comedy like The Change-Up — Ryan Reynolds can and will sink it.

Warner Bros. is hoping to copy the success of The Avengers, meaning they’ll need another Green Lantern flick to set up an eventual Justice League movie, and apparently they’ve already kicked Reynolds to the curb and are starting over from scratch. No word on who’s working on Green Lantern now that the slate’s been wiped clean — maybe Ridley Scott can add another project to the dozen already on his plate.

Personally I strongly doubt Warner Bros. will ever get it together to make a Justice League project happen, but I’m always happy to report on Ryan Reynolds being s–tcanned.

I think Ryan Reynolds was the ONLY good part about GL. Starting with the fact that it had 4 effing screenwriters credited. Who knows if someone else took a whack and couldn’t get it right. And it’s also interesting that “can and will sink it” is the reason that “The Proposal” earned $164 million off a $40 million budget. Way to fact check. Also noteworthy, “Smokin’ Aces”, “Just Friends” and “Van Wilder”. All of these were apparently the Titanic, Britannica and Lusitania of the box office because it would take Robert Ballard to dredge up any sign of them in popular culture nowadays.

While I’m sure your findings within the scientific community that Mr. Reynolds is a walking pile of refuse must fascinate your colleagues, that “giant pile of garbage” is laughing all the way to the bank. With some of your money I’m sure. So glad to hear that Gamma Squad let the A-Team out on this article.

Even if I agreed RR was a crappy actor (I think he’s fairly average in the skill department and high on charisma), it takes more than a bad lead actor to sink a movie the way GL was sunk.

Snow White and the Huntsman is apparently a pretty decent flick despite Kristen Stewart’s impression of a mannequin throughout it.

Is Blake Lively reprising her role for the next movie? Will they still use CGI masks? Will they bog down the origin “story” with a bunch of pointless fan service that is inaccessible to anyone not already familiar source material?

Because if they keep all that shit. Lawrence Olivier couldn’t save it.

I don’t believe this individual has seen the film “Buried”. If you can honestly say that he fucked that movie up, I worry for your sanity. And as far as XMen Origins and Green Lantern, those were shit movies regardless of his involvement. He can’t be blamed for that – if anything he was just unlucky.
